Morocco were drawn into Group C alongside Brazil, Scotland and Haiti at the 2026 World Cup draw held in Washington on Friday, setting up an early showdown with the five time champions.
The group places Walid Regragui squad against one of the tournament heavyweights, a disciplined European side and a Caribbean team expected to play the role of outsider.
Elsewhere, hosts the United States were placed with Paraguay and Australia in Group D, while Mexico were drawn alongside South Africa and South Korea.
Defending champions Argentina will face Algeria, Austria and Jordan in Group J, while France landed in a group with Senegal, Norway and an intercontinental playoff team.
Germany were drawn with Ivory Coast and Ecuador, while England will meet Croatia, Ghana and Panama.
The expanded 48 team format means the top three teams in each group advance, giving Morocco a wider margin for error but no shortage of pressure from the opening round.
